Rooms were OK: good size & clean enough..but there are 2 reasons I wouldn't come back here..the food from their restaurant was awful and expensive (can easily be solved by eating elsewhere)..the real issue here had to do with the attitude of the staff..the moment we arrived there were 3 helpers who literally grabbed our bags from our hands even if we told them we could manage on our own..one of them was only carrying a plastic bag we had with cookies and nuts..after checking-in we even had the receptionist carrying our roomkey so as soon as we got to our room, we had 3 "bell-hops" waiting for their tip..we gave them INR 100 to split and right away a discussion began between them..the receptionist was smarter..he went inside our room "explaining" where the bed, light switch & mini-fridge were located..he announced he was leaving and we thanked him but since we weren't reaching our pockets, he then went on to where to find the towels, sink, tv, remote control, ashtray, and if we liked our beds (?)...we got the message and tipped him as well just so he could leave..they said they had WiFi but not working at the moment (network company's fault) but that we could use the Business Center where they obviously charged a ridiculous rate (INR 2 per minute if I remember well)...good thing we were only there for 1 night..

Why do operators spend so much time putting up a hotel complex but try to get chintzy on maintaining the premises? WiFi is advertised even though it apparently hasn't worked in months. Supper buffet was bland. Located out in the middle of nowhere and a 200m walk to the nearest shop.But the biggest disappointment was the bar service; with virtually every transaction, the waiters tipped themselves - one day I ordered a Kingfisher beer for Rs180, gave them a Rs500 note, and after I'd walked away I realised that they only gave me back Rs300. Next day a friend of mine did the same but they only gave him back Rs200. Must be nice to have a job where you keep whatever you think your service was worth.

Stayed 2 nights in Dec during our family vacation. Chose this hotel due to good experience after staying in Kochin Grand Hotel but were slightly disappointed.

Hotel is rather old property that has seen little refurbishment. One of the 2 rooms we got was a rather large room with 3 beds and the other was rather cramped.

Food was average at best but was more than made up for by the ever friendly and helpful restaurant manager. Other staff were also helpful such as the guy manning the laundry room as well as front desk staff.

we initially planned to stay here for two nights but moved out after one to Trident.. if we had our way, we would have moved out even sooner.. here's why you should stay away from Grand Hotel:1. Rooms: - Wi-fi doesn't work and the staff has no clue why/ when will it work- Intercom was dead, there was no way to contact the staff and even for a bottle of water, we had to go all the way down to the reception- No other phone- No English channels on TV, no listing of channels anywhere either- Dirty sheets with mud and spots- Poor heating/ room temperature control - it was a cold night and i couldn't sleep at all- limited toiletries even for a double room

2. Staff:- Very cold and indifferent.

3. Service:- Very very slow

4. Food:- they put a lot of oil and spices in everything- breakfast: coffee and all vegetables were cold and appeared stale

5. Value for money:For 5 grand plus a night, the place is an absolute rip off and quite a turn off!

If you are in Agra, pamper yourself and go stay in one of the 5 stars.. you won't regret!

We only stayed for an hour. The room was uncomfortable and the sheets were dirty.I had the feeling the whole time that we were there that the staff wanted to get as much money out of us as they could. My other half was unwell and when we discovered that there were no channels in English on the TV we took a taxi to Delhi. Also the wifi didn't work and we couldn't get phone reception. I now understand why The Rough Guide recommends using the 5* hotels in Agra.

Hotel was very difficult to find. We passed it 3 times but no lighted signage. I was with a party of 2. The desk clerk came with us to the room along with the guy brining the luggage. I gave tip for both party to the clerk since he wouldnt leave and than goes to the other party thats with us and did samething. After that the luggage guy comes and wanted money too and got from both parties. The breakfast was okay and the room were decent but clean.
